If you have a plate of fresh oysters with a classic mignonette

the far western tip of the island

the weight of the grapes presses out “free run juice” for 48 hours

with a Willamette Valley signature of dusty clay

Benjamin Taillander Vin de France Blanc 2025 priorat If you have a plateA blend of Terret Gris and Blanc, Grenache Gris and Blanc. The nose is devilishly complex, with notes of mango and lime, white strawberry and limestone, flint and fresh basil. The palate is surprisingly keen, medium bodied, a little creamy and with a touch of whipped creams flavor, white peach and tangerine, before tightening up with lemon and limestone minerals. It makes us wonder where Terret has been all this time.
